in the middle of the waters
The North Pole is situated in the Arctic Ocean, where the temperature is never warm enough to melt the thick sea ice that freezes much of the year.
The North Pole, as it is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice Cap, which floats on top of the Arctic Ocean.
How thick is the ice at the north pole
There is no specific land. The north pole is just a geographic location.There are ice sheets that cover the north pole. These ice sheets are thick enough to be walked on. There are island that are close to the north pole but there is no land in the north pole.
It is mostly water and ice bergs
A large piece of ice that covers land is called an Ice Sheet.
The North Pole is situated in the Arctic Ocean, where the temperature is never warm enough to melt the thick sea ice that freezes much of the year.
At the South Pole, the elevation in excess of 9,000 feet is the thickness of the ice, plus, since the ice is so heavy, it pushes the continent under the pole to below sea level. The sea ice over the Arctic -- the site of the North Pole -- floats on sea water and is not as thick as the ice that covers the Antarctic continent.

The ice caps at the North Pole are solid.
The north pole contains the largest ice caps ;-)

The North Pole has no land mass under the ice, as it is located in the Arctic Ocean and is covered entirely by sea ice. In contrast, the South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica, which has a land mass covered by ice.
The North Pole sits on a floating ice sheet which is called the Arctic ice sheet.
Yes, there is tundra ice near the north pole. There are actually two separate north poles and one is called the magnetic north pole.
There are no cities at the North Pole. The North Pole is in the Arctic, which is a huge area of floating ice.
